Jennifer, You asked about writing a letter so that breast development/breast function could be added to a class on sexuality. I think that is a great idea! Be positive and offer a positive suggestion. Use your own words like you did in your lactnet post. You said: "I just feel strongly that they missed a very good opportunity to address breastfeeding or at least letting the truth about what breasts are really for!! Some of the girls have no clue what breasts are for or what they can do, besides filling lacey bras. The video "I Got It" was shown, a very fine video to show regarding that but the video made no attempt to touch on developing breasts just showed lacey bras I felt that was putting a sexual outlook on growing breasts." Your letter could go something like this: I attended the class and saw the video "I Got It" about sexual development and menstruation. I thought it was a very fine video and the girls learned alot in the class. Although breasts and bras were shown, breast development was not really described, nor breast function (mammary glands as part of the reproductive system). In my experience, many girls have no idea what breasts are for or what they can do. I feel that this class would be a great opportunity to present a short segment on breast development and the breasts' function of breastfeeding the infant. I would be happy to share w/ you some references/handouts blah blah blah. Laurie Wheeler, IBCLC, MN, RN New Orleans Louisiana, s.e.
